Golf problem, What would you recomend?

Aim far right and let the ball drift back into the fairway. Time and practice can help the slice be not as bad.

You could also put the ball in the front portion of your stance.

I tend to do this with my long irons.

I agree. I alway hit my driver with the ball positioned just inside of my front foot. I normally would also agree with aiming way right and playing with the game you have, but if the ball is only advancing 75 yards forward, I'd hit another club (even an iron) off the tee.

I would get a lesson or two and let the golf pro correct the problem. The driver is most unforgiving club to hit and any small mistakes will be magnified. Try teeing off with a 3 or 5 wood and see if that helps to reduce the fade. The usual cause is that the club head isn't square as you impact the ball which puts a spin on it that causes the power fade. I'm not a fan of adjusting your stance to correct for the problem by playing the fade as you could end up teeing into trouble and watching the ball go straight for a change. It could be in your stance, grip or swing and a golf pro can look at that and make the adjustment.

Alright sounds like I should call for some lessons.
